About G0412: Open treatment of iliac spine fracture

Open surgical treatment of an iliac spine fracture, reported when the fracture is treated through an operative approach on one or both sides.

An orthopedic or trauma surgeon uses an open operative approach to expose and treat an iliac spine fracture. A displaced anterior iliac spine avulsion that requires operative treatment is a representative clinical situation. The service addresses the iliac spine fracture itself, rather than a broader pelvic ring injury, and is generally performed in an operating room, usually in a hospital or other facility setting.

Report G0412 for open treatment of an iliac spine fracture, whether unilateral or bilateral. The operative report should identify the fracture location, side or sides, open approach, and treatment performed. Do not append modifier 50; CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this descriptor. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. An assistant at surgery may be paid, and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.

G0412 billing questions

How does G0412 differ from open treatment of a pelvic ring fracture?

G0412 is for a fracture of an iliac spine. Use a pelvic ring fracture code when the treated fracture involves the pelvic ring rather than the iliac spine.

Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral iliac spine treatment?

No. The code covers unilateral or bilateral treatment, and CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this descriptor.

What documentation supports G0412?

Document the iliac spine fracture, the side or sides treated, the open approach, and the treatment performed.

Are related postoperative visits separately included?

The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery and permits co-surgeons. Team surgery is not permitted.

Where these rates come from
